WVU lawsuit against Rodriguez headed for mediation
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University's $4 million lawsuit against ex-football coach Rich Rodriguez is headed for mediation, with the goal of resolving the dispute by Aug. 1.
But WVU attorney Jeff Wakefield says Judge Robert Stone's order is standard, and he thinks it's unlikely mediation will help.
Wakefield says the university remains firm in its position that Rodriguez owes $4 million under the contract in place when he resigned in December to take Michigan's head coaching job.
If mediation doesn't end the dispute, Stone will hear motions on Nov. 10.

Pay the money, get this BS done and over with and make sure to cut ties totally! I think a lot of us are just plain tired of hearing this non-sense. This whinning on both sides is a joke, period. Time to **** and do the right thing here no matter what the pain maybe. Keeps up and the pain will get worse, trust me!
